THE forecast is good with mud distinctly unlikely as Nozstock opens the gates on Friday for this year's festival.

And on Sunday, Indie Award nominee Katey Brooks, who has been described as a female Hozier, and as having a “voice to melt glaciers” (Venue Magazine). From the London 2012 Olympics to Glastonbury Festival, WOMAD to Abbey Road, Brooks’ “devastating vocal talent” (Just Music That I Like) has won her admirers throughout the industry and seen her feature on tracks with Paloma Faith, Imelda May, The Rolling Stones’ Bill Wyman, Nick Mason of Pink Floyd and Brian May.

Having already packed in tours in France, Australia and Canada this year, catch this “not to be missed” (Time Out) talent on Nozstock's main stage on Sunday.
